FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Cement Matrix Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Civil Engineering Division Council.
Apart from the requirements regarding the design, materials, processes of manufacture,
dimensions, shape, workmanship and finish, etc, acceptability of pipes is determined by the results
of various tests to evaluate the properties stipulated in the relevant Indian Standard
specifications. This standard lays down the procedures for conducting tests relating to load
bearing, absorption, hydrostatic, permeability and straightness of concrete pipes, both reinforced
concrete and prestressed concrete of pressure and non-pressure types.
In addition to the tests specified in this standard, inspection of the process of manufacture, the
quality of the finished pipe and other tests for the quality control of materials during manufacture
shall be carried out as per requirements of relevant Indian Standards.
This standard was first published in 1966 and subsequently revised in 1985. This revision
incorporates modifications mainly in respect of hydrostatic test and permeability test which was
found necessary in the light of experience gained during the use of this standard.
The composition of the technical committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is
given in Annex A.
This edition 3.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (March 2003). Side bar indicates modification of
the text as the result of incorporation of the amendment.
In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final
value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).

5.2.1 Apparatus
5.2.1.1 Testing machine
Any mechanical or hand-powered device may
be used in which the head that applies the load
moves at such a speed as to increase the load at
a uniform rate of approximately 20 percent of
the expected crushing load per linear metre per
minute. The loading device shall be calibrated
within an accuracy of 2 percent. The testing
machine used for the load tests should produce
a uniform deflection throughout the full length
of the pipe and shall be so substantial and rigid
throughout, that the distribution of the test
load along the length of the barrel of the pipe
will not be appreciably affected by the
deformation or yielding of any part of the
machine during the application of the load.
2 INSPECTION
The quality of all materials, process of
manufacture and the finished pipes shall be
subject to inspection and approval by the
purchaser. If the pipe is tested for three-edge
bearing or absorption, inspection of the
reinforcement shall be made on the pipe
sections used for those tests.
3 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
3.1 The test specimens shall not have been
exposed to a temperature below 4C for 24
hours immediately preceding the test and shall
be free from all visible moisture. The specimens
shall be inspected and any specimen with
visible flaws shall be discarded.
3.2 If any test specimen fails because of
mechanical reasons, such as failure of testing
equipment or improper specimen preparation,
it shall be discarded and another specimen
taken.
4 SELECTION OF TEST SPECIMENS
In addition to the requirements specified in this
standard, the number of test specimens and the
method of their selection shall be in accordance
with the specification for the type of pipe being
tested.

6 ABSORPTION TEST
6.1 Test Specimen
Each specimen selected at random shall have a
square area of 100 cm2 10 percent of the length
of the pipe as measured on surface of the pipe,
and a thickness equal to the full depth of the pipe
thickness and shall be free from visible cracks.
6.2 Procedure
6.2.1 Drying Specimens
Specimens shall be dried in a mechanical
convection oven at a temperature of 105C to
115C until two successive weighings at
intervals of not less than 8 h show an
increment of loss not greater than 0.1 percent
of the mass of the specimen. The drying time
shall be not less than 36 h. The dry mass of the
specimen shall be the mass after the final
drying determined at ambient temperature.
6.2.2 After drying and weighing as specified
in 6.2.1, the specimens shall be immersed in
clean water at room temperature for the
specified period. The specimens shall then be
removed from the water and allowed to drain
for not more than one minute. The superficial
water shall then be removed by absorbent cloth
or paper and the specimens weighed
immediately.

FIG. 3
8.1.1 Procedure
The dry surface of the pipe shall be scrapped by
wire brush and loose particles, if any, removed.
Sealant shall then be applied to the lower
portion of the cup and cup shall be pressed on
the pipe. After hardening of sealant, water
shall be filled in the cup with wash bottle. The
glass tube with rubber cork shall then be fixed
in the cup as shown in Fig. 4. Water in the tube
shall then be filled using wash bottle and air
shall be allowed to escape during filling.
Precaution shall be taken, so that water does
not leak either from cup ends or from the
rubber stopper.

9 STRAIGHTNESS TEST
9.1 Procedure
IS 3597 : 1998
internal surface of the pipe at both ends, the
gauge shall be reversed so that edge Y, placed
as in 9.1.1, is adjusted to the internal surface of
the pipe. If the two studs in edge Y cannot be
made to touch the surface of the pipe
simultaneously, the deviation from the
straightness is excessive.
